2007 Pontiac G6 complaints

WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THE CAR WOULD STILL MOVE. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK ON A SMALL INCLINE, THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN THE INCLINE/HILL. THE GEAR SHIFT DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE PARK GEAR. IT REACTED LIKE THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. ON 10-06-2011, I PAID $251.44 TO THE HAVE THE "TRANS SHIFT CABLE" REPLACED, & THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM.

DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD A DEER CAME OUT WE TRIED TO SWERVE TO AVOID THE DEER AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, AND VEHICLE LOST STEERING DUE TO ANTI SKID FAILURE, DOES NOT INDICATE ANTI SKID FAILURE, SHOWS IT IS OPERATIONAL, TIRES WERE VERY HEAVILY FLAT SPOTTED, WE WENT OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A SIGN AND DAMAGED THE FRONT OF THE CAR AFTER THIS THE AIR BAG SENSOR IS DANGLING WE HAD NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND WE WERE TOLD THE ANTI SKID AND OUR CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM WAS ALL WORKING AND NORMAL, THE CAR WILL SURGE FORWARD VERY FAST WHEN THE CRUISE IS SET, IT WILL GO ABOUT 10 MPH PAST THE SET SPEED, AND WILL GO BACK TO THE SET SPEED, BUT NOT UNTIL IT GOES VERY QUICKLY TO THE POINT WHERE IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL YOU WILL RUN UP ON SOMEONE IN FRONT OF YOU. *TR

I PLUGGED IN MY PHONE TO CHARGE IT LIKE I DO ALL THE TIME A FEW MOMENTS LATER THERE WAS SMOKE EVERYWHERE I UNPLUGGED THE PHONE BUT SMOKE WAS STILL COMING OUT SO I WENT TO WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM AND ALL THE WIRING WAS BURNT AND NOW MY LOCKS DON'T WORK MY ALARM IS ALL CRAZY MY TOP WONT WORK I CANT OPEN MY TRUNK IS JUST A MESS. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. OTHER VEHICLE STOPPED TO MY LEFT, SO I TURNED RIGHT. HE ACCELERATED, HITTING MY CAR. I HAD A HOLE IN MY DOOR[ DRIVERS] AND HE TOOK MY BUMPER OFF, TOTALING MY CAR. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. HE HIT ME HARD ENOUGH TO PUT A LARGE HOLE IN THE METAL DOOR, AND THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG, OR ANY AIR BAG, DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH 3 BEEPS WERE HEARD AND A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAID POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENED JUST AS THE CAR WAS BEING TURNED AND THERE WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF THE POWERSTEERING. IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO OPERATE AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE FIXED BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT SLOWER SPEED. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT ANY RECALL FOR SUCH A PROBLEM. THEN IN THE END OF MARCH OF 2014 A GM RECALL (ID # 102624) WAS SENT OUT PERTAINING TO 2005. 2006, 2008, AND 2009 PONTIAC G6S. 2007 CARS LIKE MINE WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I LEARNED THAT THIS RECALL COULD AFFECT 1.3 MILLION GM VEHICLES. JEFF BOYER, VICE PRESIDENT OF GM GLOBAL VEHICLE SAFETY, STATED "WITH THESE SAFETY RECALL AND LIFETIME WARRANTIES, WE ARE GOING AFTER EVERY(EMPHASIZED) CAR THAT MIGHT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT RIGHT" "WE HAVE RECALLED SOME OF THESE VEHICLES BEFORE FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON OTHERS, BUT WE DID NOT DO ENOUGH." I REQUEST THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE WHY 2007 PONTIAC G6S WERE LEFT OUT OF THIS RECALL. I HAVE HAD THE POWER STEERING COLUMN REPLACED TWO TIMES AT GREAT EXPENSE AND I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR. GM MUST ANSWER IF THE 2007 G6S WERE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE 2005,2006,2008 AND 2009 MODELS. WERE TOTALLY NEW PARTS AND SYSTEMS ONLY AVAILABLE IN 2007 AND THEN CHANGED AGAIN FOR 2008 AND 2009? . I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT TO GM AND HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM ANALYZED BY MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP

WHEN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH 3 BEEPS WERE HEARD AND A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAID POWER STEERING. RIGHT AFTER THAT THERE WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF THE POWERSTEERING. WHEN THE CAR IGNITION WAS SHUT OFF AND THE CAR RESTARTED POWERSTEERING WAS RESTORED FOR UP TO 10-20 MILES. THEN THE BEEPS WERE AGAIN HEARD AND MESSAGE AGAIN APPEARED AND THE POWERSTEERING WENT OUT AGAIN. ON AGAIN OFF AGAIN. WE HAD TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE IN THIS MODE FOR A NUMBER OF MONTHS. FINALLY IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO OPERATE AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED FOR 2 MONTHS. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT ANY RECALL FOR SUCH A PROBLEM. THEN IN THE END OF MARCH OF 2014 A GM RECALL (ID # 102624) WAS SENT OUT PERTAINING TO 2005. 2006, 2008, AND 2009 PONTIAC G6S. 2007 CARS LIKE MINE WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

TWO WEEKS AGO, IT BECAME INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION AFTER PUTTING MY KEY INTO PARK. AT TIMES, IT MAY TAKE UP TO 5 MINUTES TO REMOVE MY KEY. WITHIN A WEEK, I NOTICED THAT IT WAS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE. LAST SUNDAY, (JUNE 1, 2014) I WAS AT THE GROCERY STORE, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, THEN DRIVE. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, IT WAS AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME IN THE MANUAL SETTING. MY HUSBAND THEN TEST DROVE THE CAR AND NOTICED THE SAME THINGS. HE ADDED THAT WHEN IN DRIVE, IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND IT WOULD ACTUALLY MOVE BACKWARDS IF ON A SLANTED ROAD OR STREET. MY HUSBAND DROVE MY CAR INTO BRADSHAW MOTORS, WADE HAMPTON, GREER, SC THE NEXT DAY, MONDAY, JUNE 2, 2014. THEY SAID WE NEED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON MY CAR, (WHICH I BOUGHT NEW) I BECAME VERY UPSET AND BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE RECALLS. I FOUND A RECALL #14V224000 ON THE WWW.PONTIACPROBLEMS,COM/RECALLS/G6/2007 WEBSITE. I CALLED THE 1-800 NUMBER AND HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN AROUND ON THE PHONE SENSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED ALTHOUGH THE BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO REPAIRED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL , EXTERIOR LIGHTING , SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC , VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 134,000.

ON JAN 21, 2014 THE POWER STEERING LIGHT AND BEEP WENT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK. I COULD TURN THE CAR OFF, TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH WHILE TURNING THE KEY BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED - FOR A WHILE. THIS TECHNIQUE NO LONGER WORKS. TWO YEARS AGO THE STEERING WENT OUT SPORADICALLY FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS-I COULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THE STEERING WOULD WORK. WE CHECKED INTO GETTING IT FIXED BUT WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST (WHY NOT??). FOR SOME REASON,BACK THEN, THE PROBLEM JUST STOPPED HAPPENING AND THE STEERING WAS FINE AGAIN UNTIL THIS PAST JANUARY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS TRIGGERING THIS PROBLEM BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS GOING TO COST QUITE A BIT OF MONEY TO FIX. THE 2007 PONTIAC G6 NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE ALREADY LONG LIST OF RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE POWER STEERING FIRST BEGAN TO FAIL UPON STARTING THE CAR. IF I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS THE POWER STEERING BEGAN TO FAIL WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TO PAY OVER $800 TO HAVE THE STEERING SENSOR AND POWER STEERING MOTOR REPLACED. EVEN THEN, THE MECHANIC HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING THE NEW SENSOR TO CALIBRATE. *TR

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT TO GO ALONG. THE POWER STEERING ON MY 07 PONTIAC G6 WENT OUT ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. IT NOW GOES IN AND OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING. *TR

COOLING FANS FUSES REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS RUNNING HOT. IT STARTED RUNNING HOT A FEW YEARS LATER AND WIRING TO THE COOLING FANS HAD TO BE FIXED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF AND ENGINE MODULE WAS REPLACED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY, POWER STEERING RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING BUT CAME BACK, POWER SEATS STOPPED WORKING RANDOMLY BUT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN, RADIO WOULDN'T GO OFF AFTER TAKING OUT THE KEY AND OPENING THE DOOR, AND NOW THE CAR WILL ONLY GO IN REVERSE AND DRIVE IN THE MANUAL MODE. I'M NEVER BUYING ANOTHER GM VEHICLE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF AND ON REGARDLESS IF THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 156,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING LAMPS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000, AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 147,077.

SINCE LAST YEAR, LET'S SAY IN SPRING, I HAD PROBLEMS SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. DOESN'T DO IT EVERY TIME. LATER I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKELIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ILLUMINATED. WILL NOT CHANGE IF THE BRAKE IS PUSHED. BUT IF I PUSH HARD ENOUGH ON THEM THEY TURN OFF ALL TOGETHER. WHEN PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AGAIN THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP AT ALL. SO AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE LIGHTS ALL COME BACK ON WHEN I AM NOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE. BACK TO THE BEGINNING. ALSO MY CRUISE CONTROL TURNS OFF WHEN I'M USING IT. SOMETIMES MY LIGHTS GO IN AND OUT OF CLIMATE CONTROLS. NOW I CALLED GM ABOUT THE RECALL ON MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR AND GAVE HER MY VIN NUMBER. SHE SAID I AM NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDED ON THE RECALL. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I NEED THIS FIXED BEFORE I GET A TICKET OR GET INTO AN ACCIDENT! *TR

MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES THAT ARE IN THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED GM RECALL. HOWEVER, UPON CALLING GM, THEY INSIST THAT MY VIN IS NOT ONE OF THE UNITS AFFECTED. EITHER I AM BY COINCIDENCE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL (CRUISE CONTROL HAVING ISSUES ENGAGING/DISENGAGING; BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATING NOT ILLUMINATING AT PROPER TIMES), OR GM IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE FULL EXTENT OF THE ISSUE. OCCAM'S RAZOR SAYS THAT THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION IS THE MOST LIKELY, AND IN THIS SITUATION, THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION IS THAT THE FAULTY PART(S) WERE USED IN MORE VEHICLES THAN THEY CURRENTLY RECOGNIZE. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE COMING ON WHILE ACCELERATING AND GOING OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ENGAGED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY BUT WE ARE TRAVELING AND WILL HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AT OUR DESTINATION. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS WORKING INTERMITTENT AND THE SHIFT INTERLOCK NEEDS EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO UNLOCK THE SHIFTER. I SEE THIS IS BEING LOOKED INTO FOR A RECALL THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT! *TR

CAR HAS CAUGHT ON FIRE TWICE DUE TO POWER STEERING HOSE RUBBING AND LEAKING FLAMMABLE FLUIDS BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTION ALWAYS....ON WHEN ACCELERATING AND OFF WHEN YOU ACTUALLY APPLY BRAKES AIR BAG LIGHTS ON AND OFF ON AND OFF--MALFUNCTIONING ALL THE TIME. *TR

WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AFTER AN HOUR LONG DRIVE, MY PONTIAC G6 GT HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE MADE A LOUD POP AND THEN FILLED WITH SMOKE AND FLAMES SHOT OUT OF THE HOOD. PRIOR TO THAT THERE WAS A POP AND LIQUIDS SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND. I JUMPED OUT OF MY CAR AND RAN TO ALERT A NEARBY POLICE OFFICER. WE GOT BACK TO THE CAR IN LESS THAN A MINUTE AND HE WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ALSO ALERTED AND THEY ARRIVED TO CHECK THE FIRE. WHEN IT WAS REPAIRED THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION, OR SOME FLUID, IGNITING.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET SLOWED DOWN TO TURN INTO A GAS STATION WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER TO THE STEERING. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR DING AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED. ALSO WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WILL SHAKE AND SQUEAL ON A SHARP TURN AT TIMES. ALSO HAS CLINKING NOISES FROM FRONT STEERING SYSTEM. TOOK INTO DEALER LITTLE AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR BUT THEY TOLD US THEY COULD NEVER HEAR WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. TOOK IT IN LIKE 4 OR 5 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD EACH TIME THEY DID NOT HEAR IT SO THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PONTIAC AGAIN LET ALONE PAY 21,000 DOLLARS FOR A PIECE OF CLUNK LIKE THIS. *TR UPDATED 12/1/2014 *JS

MY G6 SPORTS CONVERTIBLE HAS A TENDENCY TO LOCK ME IN THE CAR.. IT HAS A RETRACTABLE ROOF AND THE WINDOWS FUNCTION UP AND DOWN AND INCH FOR SECURITY REASONS WHEN USING THE ROOF.. ON SUCH DAY, I WAS NOT USING THE ROOF AND PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT IT IN PARK AND THE DRIVER DOOR LOCKED ME IN... WOULD NOT LET ME OPEN THE DOOR .. I TURNED OFF THE RADIO THINKING IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT BUT DIDNT.. THE ONLY DOOR THAT WOULD OPEN WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR.. IF THAT WOULD NOT HAVE LET ME OUT I WOULD HAVE BEEN LOCKED INSIDE MY VEHICLE.. ALSO, THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I DIDNT EVEN HAVE IT ON.. IN SUMMER I DO NOT USE THE TRACTION FEATURE, ONLYIF IT IS RAINING HARD. THREE TIMES FOR THE LIGHT AND TWO TIMES NOW LOCKING ME IN.. I CONTACTED A PONTIAC SERVICE REP AND HE SAID I PROBABLY HAVE A DOOR LOCK DEFECT. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS ONCE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE MAY I NOTE THAT THE KEY WOULD NOT EVEN UNLOCK THE DOOR.. MAKES ME FEEL PETRIFIED THAT I AM GOING TO BE LOCKED IN MY CAR AND I AM CLAUSTROPHOBIC.. PLEASE GM LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.. THIRDLY THERE IS A HISS THAT IS COMING FROM THE MOTOR AND ALL IS FINE UNDER THE HOOD, THE CAR IS PRACTICALLY NEW AT 22000 MILES AND THESE THINGS SHOULD NOT BE OCCURING.. AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT MY CAR WAS NOT IN THE RECALL.. NOW IT IS! HELP! *JS

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM DID NOT ILLUMINATE. CHANGED THE BULB, DID NOT HELP. CHECKED THE WIRING AND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BULB AND THE WIRING WAS MELTED. REPLACED THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WHICH SOLVED THE ISSUE FOR A MONTH. ONE OF THE CONNECTIONS ON THE FEMALE TERMINAL OF THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE ASSEMBLY HAS CORRODED AND CAUSES THE LIGHT TO SHORT. THIS HAS MADE DRIVING DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE AT NIGHT. *TR

IN PARK, WHILE REVERSING, POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING. HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE REDUCED IN POWER AFTER PRESSING ON THE GASOLINE PEDAL. THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, STATING ENGINE POWER REDUCED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 131,000. RK

I STARTED MY CAR AND WENT TO PUT IT IN REVERSE. I THEN FOUND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN. THE POWER STEERING THEN WORKED. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, AND STAY ON, WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. (EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF THE WAY IT SHOULD) WHEN PARKED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON UNLESS THE BRAKE IS FULLY DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. (SOMETHING THAT CAN NOT BE DONE WHILE DRIVING) ONCE IT IS RELEASED, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO STAY ON, EVEN WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND AFTER REVIEWING THE MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH G6 CARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITH A LOSS OF POWER STEERING.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY PONTIAC G6 2007 DO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. WHEN DRIVING THEY STAY ON, WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE THEY GO OUT. MY CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK EITHER. I HAVE CHANGED THE BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR FIVE TIMES AND IT WORKS FOR A DAY OR SO, AND GOES OUT AGAIN. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE AIRBAG DASH SYMBOL LIT UP AND A MESSAGE TO CHECK THE AIRBAG APPEARED ON THE SCREEN. WHEN I PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON THE AIRBAG WARNING STOPPED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON THIS DAY AND ONCE THE NEXT DAY. TODAY, A MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING RECURRED BUT I DID NOT STOP THE CAR TO TURN IT OFF. I REMOVED A SECOND SET OF KEYS ATTACHED TO THE CAR KEYS AND THE WARNING STOPPED WHILE I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. *TR

NOTE: THE DATE PROVIDE IN THE UPPER PART OF THIS FORM IS NOT ACCURATE BECAUSE THE WEBPAGE WOULD NOT LET CORRECT DATE BE ENTERED. THIS VEHICLE'S ELECTRONIC MESSAGING SYSTEM (IN THE DASHBOARD) FREQUENTLY SHOWS THE MESSAGE: "SERVICE AIR BAG" THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS MESSAGE OCCURRED WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER, WHO RESPONDED, "I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT." THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED RANDOMLY/SEMI-REGULARLY SINCE THAT TIME. SOMETIME LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHILE THE MESSAGE WAS SHOWING, AND A REQUEST WAS MADE TO MAKE A NOTATION OF THE PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE RECORD, THE REQUEST WAS IGNORED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: FOR THE FIRST 3 YEARS AFTER THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, IT HAD MAJOR ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS THAT WERE LATER CORRECTED BY REPLACING THE FACTORY-INSTALLED BATTERY, THAT THE DEALERSHIP PARTS MANAGER STATED WAS THE WRONG SIZE (IT WAS TOO SMALL), WITH THE CORRECT SIZE BATTERY. HOWEVER, THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE HAS CONTINUED TO APPEAR FREQUENTLY AND AT RANDOM. HAVING JUST CHECKED THE NHTSA WEBSITE (THANKS TO AN ALERT FROM FOX NEWS) AND DISCOVERING AN AIR BAG RELATED RECALL, THIS VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN INTOP THE DEALERSHIP. ALONG WITH A PRINT-OUR OF THE RECALL, FOR REPAIR. *TR
